Erin has represented American Apparel and its affiliates in two recent Chapter 11 cases. American Apparel operated a vertically integrated manufacturing, distribution, and retail business focused on branded fashion-basic apparel, employing thousands of employees across multiple manufacturing facilities and hundreds of retail stores in the United States and 17 other countries worldwide.

American Apparel filed a prearranged bankruptcy case in October 2015; its prearranged plan, which was a financial restructuring premised on implementation of a business turnaround plan, was confirmed in just over three months, in January 2016.

Unfortunately, the retailer's turnaround plan failed. American Apparel and many of its foreign subsidiaries again filed bankruptcy (or similar) proceedings in November 2016, with Erin acting as lead counsel in the U.S. bankruptcy cases, coordinating the disposition of the retailer's foreign subsidiaries worldwide.

Erin was individually recommended in The Legal 500 2016 rankings for corporate restructuring. Law360 named Erin a Rising Star in 2016, and she was among the Global Restructuring Review's inaugural "Top 40 Under 40" restructuring lawyers. She also has been named a Super Lawyer or Rising Star by Los Angeles magazine and Super Lawyers for nine of the past 10 years.
